Do you want to borrow a bike during Short term? The Bates EcoReps and the library have teamed up to create a Bates bike library! You can now check out a bike for a week, on a first-come, first-served basis, similar to checking out a book.

The Ladd front desk will be able to set you up with a bike by issuing you a key which matches one of the bikes outside the entrance. The Bike ID on the keychain will let you know which bike you have.

⭐️Treat the bikes nicely, and please return them in time so others can use them as well. We suggest wearing a helmet.⭐️
